Experience the wonders of ancient Campania

Depart from the heart of Naples for a full day of exploration where history comes alive. Uncover the incredible stories of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius—three iconic locations that reveal the dramatic fate of ancient Roman civilization. This immersive tour is designed for those who want to see the best of archaeological Italy and enjoy the convenience of all arrangements handled for you.

Pompeii: the buried city

Your journey begins with arrival by comfortable coach at the legendary ruins of Pompeii. Once a bustling Roman city, Pompeii was frozen in time by the volcanic eruption of AD 79. Walk through expansive streets and public spaces, guided by a knowledgeable expert who brings ancient stories to life. Explore temples, shops, bathhouses and stunning frescoes that offer a glimpse into everyday Roman life. The casts of residents and intricate mosaic floors provide a poignant reminder of the city’s sudden end and remarkable preservation.

Herculaneum: a hidden treasure

Enhance your experience by choosing the option to visit Herculaneum, another remarkable site entombed by Vesuvius’ eruption. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum’s structures, mosaics and even wooden elements remain impressively intact. Stroll through preserved homes, marvel at vibrant wall paintings and see artifacts that showcase the town’s former prosperity. Your guide will highlight the contrasts between these two buried towns and their unique archaeological significance.

Mount Vesuvius: the source of legend

Complete your day by heading up the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. Those who select this option will witness the dramatic crater and admire sweeping views over the Bay of Naples. Learn about the geology of the volcano, the power behind its historic eruption and the ongoing monitoring that makes it one of the world’s most studied volcanoes. This scenic stop offers rare photo opportunities and a deeper understanding of the forces that shaped the region.

Seamless service and expert guidance

This tour includes convenient pickup in central Naples, air-conditioned transport and skip-the-line access at each site. Your guide provides commentary in English, French, Spanish or Italian, with smaller group options led by an expert archaeologist for an in-depth experience. Choose to extend your day with an included lunch or opt for more time exploring at your own pace.
